Costa
Rican Tribal Masks & Native Masks From Costa Rica

One
of the less known
areas that still produce native masks and other tribal mask art is in
the eastern part of Costa Rica, home of the Boruca native
people.
Native masks from this area often depict the wildlife in the
Costa Rican rain forests.

Free Spirit
Gallery does not carry Costa Rican native art but recommends a source
for native tribal masks from the Boruca people. Our partner
is
Down to Earth, which is based in San Jose in Costa Rica (they also have
an office in Miami, Florida). In addition to native masks,
they
also have other Costa Rican arts and crafts as well as their famous
coffee.

So
click on
the images and links below to check out Down to Earth and then use
their links (see under 'handcrafted') on the left side of their webpage
to get to
their masks. The two types of masks below are in separate
sections and it may take some browsing to find them but they sure are
interesting pieces.
